Hamilton (lower body) left Tuesday's game versus the Ducks after the first period and will not return, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton played throughout the first period, but he went down the tunnel to the locker room before the start of the second. The defenseman didn't return at the start of the third, and it's unclear what's keeping him off the ice. An update may be available after Tuesday's game, but the Devils don't play again until Friday versus the Kings.
